What Should an IEP Team Do if a Child Moves to the District With No Records or IEP At All?


According to Parents Rights in Special Education (Procedural Safeguards) distributed by South Carolina's Office of Exceptional Children at the State Department of Education....
"The provision of the special education and related services the child needs in order to receive FAPE and progress in the general curriculum should not be withheld pendng the receipt of records when the district knows the child has been identified as a child with a disability and has an IEP. If the new district has no records and no documentation at all that the child was served in special education in the previous district, then the child is to be placed in the general education setting until such time as the new district receives the documentation or conducts an initial evaluation."
